STICK OF WONDER 神奇棒

字彙

to picture the scene

an obnoxious, space-taking device
a mystical stick of wonder

文句

Google has the Chromecast wireless media streaming device that plugs into your living room television set through a HDMI port. And one of the little know features to Microsoft's Windows 8's operating system is "Windows To Go," a way to put your entire computer on a USB stick that you can take anywhere you go…

You're starting to picture the scene. It's not necessarily about what your desktop or tablet can do anymore. It's about what that obnoxious, space-taking device in the corner of your home living room or work conference room can do when you plug in a mystical stick of wonder.


解釋

to picture the scene  想像這個長景

an obnoxious, space-taking device  一個令人討厭、佔空間的裝置

a mystical stick of wonder  一根神秘的神奇棒。文中的「棒」指的是一種無線影音串流的裝置，體積猶如USB的大小，裡頭裝有開機系統程式，方便攜帶，例如："Windows To Go", Dell 的 拇指 碟電腦（Thumb drive computer）。
